Later
,
when
I
descended
to
order
the
car
and
found
Austin
bending
over
it
absorbed
in
repairs
,
I
controlled
my
open
hand
even
after
I
had
lifted
it
and
refrained
from
giving
him
an
experience
which
would
possibly
have
caused
him
to
follow
in
the
steps
of
the
housekeeper
.
On
the
contrary
,
I
touched
him
on
the
shoulder
and
ordered
the
car
to
be
at
the
door
in
time
to
meet
your
train
.
At
the
present
instant
I
am
most
forcibly
tempted
to
take
Professor
Summerlee
by
that
silly
old
beard
of
his
and
to
shake
his
head
violently
backwards
and
forwards
.
And
yet
,
as
you
see
,
I
am
perfectly
restrained
.
Let
me
commend
my
example
to
you
.
"
"
I
’
ll
look
out
for
that
buffalo
,
"
said
Lord
John
.
"
And
I
for
the
football
match
.
"
"
It
may
be
that
you
are
right
,
Challenger
,
"
said
Summerlee
in
a
chastened
voice
.
"
I
am
willing
to
admit
that
my
turn
of
mind
is
critical
rather
than
constructive
and
that
I
am
not
a
ready
convert
to
any
new
theory
,
especially
when
it
happens
to
be
so
unusual
and
fantastic
as
this
one
.
However
,
as
I
cast
my
mind
back
over
the
events
of
the
morning
,
and
as
I
reconsider
the
fatuous
conduct
of
my
companions
,
I
find
it
easy
to
believe
that
some
poison
of
an
exciting
kind
was
responsible
for
their
symptoms
.
"
Challenger
slapped
his
colleague
good
-
humouredly
upon
the
shoulder
.
"
We
progress
,
"
said
he
.
"
Decidedly
we
progress
.
"
"
And
pray
,
sir
,
"
asked
Summerlee
humbly
,
"
what
is
your
opinion
as
to
the
present
outlook
?
"
"
With
your
permission
I
will
say
a
few
words
upon
that
subject
.
"
He
seated
himself
upon
his
desk
,
his
short
,
stumpy
legs
swinging
in
front
of
him
.
"
We
are
assisting
at
a
tremendous
and
awful
function
.
It
is
,
in
my
opinion
,
the
end
of
the
world
.
"
The
end
of
the
world
!
Our
eyes
turned
to
the
great
bow
-
window
and
we
looked
out
at
the
summer
beauty
of
the
country
-
side
,
the
long
slopes
of
heather
,
the
great
country
-
houses
,
the
cozy
farms
,
the
pleasure
-
seekers
upon
the
links
.
The
end
of
the
world
!
One
had
often
heard
the
words
,
but
the
idea
that
they
could
ever
have
an
immediate
practical
significance
,
that
it
should
not
be
at
some
vague
date
,
but
now
,
to
-
day
,
that
was
a
tremendous
,
a
staggering
thought
.
We
were
all
struck
solemn
and
waited
in
silence
for
Challenger
to
continue
.
His
overpowering
presence
and
appearance
lent
such
force
to
the
solemnity
of
his
words
that
for
a
moment
all
the
crudities
and
absurdities
of
the
man
vanished
,
and
he
loomed
before
us
as
something
majestic
and
beyond
the
range
of
ordinary
humanity
.
Then
to
me
,
at
least
,
there
came
back
the
cheering
recollection
of
how
twice
since
we
had
entered
the
room
he
had
roared
with
laughter
.
Surely
,
I
thought
,
there
are
limits
to
mental
detachment
.
The
crisis
cannot
be
so
great
or
so
pressing
after
all
.
